Brief summary of the video: The YouTube video (from WCCO - CBS Minnesota, uploaded January 24, 2026) is a ~7-minute clip of a press conference by U.S. Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. He discusses a fatal shooting that morning in south Minneapolis during a targeted DHS operation involving Border Patrol agents.
Key points from Bovino's statements: The suspect was identified as Jose Werta Chuma (described as an undocumented immigrant with prior criminal history including domestic assault and disorderly conduct). During the operation, the man allegedly approached agents armed with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun and extra loaded magazines. Agents attempted to disarm him, but he resisted; an agent fired in self-defense, fearing for their lives and others' safety. The suspect received immediate aid but died at the scene. Bovino characterized the incident as an attempt to "do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement." Later, ~200 rioters reportedly arrived, assaulted officers, and obstructed operations, leading to crowd control measures. He defended the involved agent's training and criticized local officials (e.g., Mayor Fry and Chief O'Hara) for allegedly omitting key details like the suspect's gun. He framed it within broader attacks on federal law enforcement and called for cooperation against violent criminals.

Who is Jose Werta Chuma?
Yet is still a caring, generous, thoughtful, peaceful victim per NBC news.
I assume someone different than today.
Sorry, but ICE killed him after he had been disarmed.
There’s no polishing up that turd.
MS Now panel in unison: "Just exactly like all of us." Then laughter as they realized they had all said it.
“I’m going out to interfere with federal agents today - let’s see, phone, gloves, 9mm, extra magazine, yep I have everything I need to peacefully protest”.
You wonder, do these idiots ever look in the mirror and think, “I could lose my life today”. They should.
There’s very little that is in any way factual in Bovino’s statement, as reported here.
“”Who is Jose Werta Chuma?””
The guy they were trying to arrest.
The criminal illegal immigrant ICE was out to arrest.
Where do you get that BS?
“””There’s very little that is in any way factual in Bovino’s statement, as reported here.”””
Were you there?
Bovino spoke too soon. He makes it sound like the guy came at them with a gun and was subsequently tackled.
Obvious from vids he was recording other agitators. He got mixed up in that scuffle but never drew a gun.
I’ve watched every available video of the event several times. What happened is quite obvious, just as it is obvious that Bovino lies without conscience.
Did he brandish this weapon or just have it on him? I can’t tell from the videos or these statements.
You know this exactly how? Hmmm? Super insider information or the wisdom of the posted public videos which are edited to create an impression.
Answer: you don’t know this, whatsoever. Just your opinion, based on, what?
Alpha Mike Foxtrot bitch. Bravo, Gentleman keep up the good work. Expedite, if you can. Thank you for your service.
The guy who was arrested after they shot him in the leg.
The morons who came out to block the arrest of this targeted individual included a true idiot who came packing a throw down, and drew it on BP agents who had already pepper sprayed the fool. Should have been enough— but no- the bozo drew, and paid with a defensive shot which killed him.
